Big News!
I'm happy to announce that I have officially started my first story as the newest addition of The Reporter. Last week I applied to be part of MDC's prestigious newspaper, formerly known as The Metropolitan. I'll be writing stories for the Arts & Entertainment section of the newspaper. But considering my background in TV Production, I was able to help film a story on MDC's West Campus parking lot situation today. As many of you may or may not know, West Campus' parking lot collapsed on four workers in the midst of construction in 2012. Since then, the garage hasn't been able to be demolished and rebuilt due to lawsuits on the construction company. Students have to park at a nearby mall or park in order to take a 10 minute school-run bus system to campus. And to give my opinion, coming from a West Campus student, it sucks. Today was the perfect example. The park parking lot was closed down in order to make parking room for the Doral golf tournament this week. Therefore, all students were forced to park at the mall parking lot, which they were obviously not happy about because no one likes having their commute schedule changed last minute. Because the mall parking lot had a lot of student traffic, we were able to get different student opinions on the problem. Overall, it was a productive and HOT day of interviews.
